[ZDoggMD]

[jwh1999]

[MADDOG6400]

It's RADICAL!!

[jallendubya]

LOL it comes with a rap sheet. I dont need any more stuff on my crminal record it's bad enough as it is.

[inaachus]

god this is seriously heartbreaking. the worse thing is that HipHop is STILL bein exploited and misrepresented like this today.

[jallendubya]

I thought this was Michael Jackson LOL. Tell mom and dad Alfonso sent ya and get a free street lingo poster.

[MasterShinigami09]

Somebody call this number and see who picks up! :D

[jhorton328]

@MasterShinigami09

Holy Crap, I tried dialing that number and it CRASHED MY CELL PHONE. Tried it twice. Don't know what's going on

[Diamondgrl2007]

[CalebLoves2Skate]

"Volume 2 is RADICAL!"

[THR336TALIA]

"Eye poppin moves like the centipede!"

[whokilledmewf]

RAP ATTACK

[jeilani1]

loool how many things is he selling in one commercial.

[NoGodHereOnlyMuzik]

LMAo! Holy shit. It took me a while to really realize that this iz was a real infomercial from bak in the day. It'z so corny it'z damn near hard to believe lol!

[xxpoisenandkissesxx]

"CAN YOU RAP?" lol omg that part makes me lol so harddd

[cbh148]

GOD DAMMIT THE FUCKING KING TUTT

[imwezl]

[imspunkyyo]

roflmao!!!!omg does ne1 else notice that he's never the one dancing!?! but yet it's his video..lol

[malikah2006]

you gotta love the 80's. it was so innocent. good times, good times. (sigh)

[Voidhead]

00:53 - somebody make an animated gif of that.

[CrymeTimefan]

can u rap?

ROTFLMAO

[brunoliver86]

ronaldo!

[ProdigsProductions]

Wow shit can I stil buy this stuff? XP

[RENT193]

carlton was the whitest sounding black kid ever. no wonder they picked him for that role

[tbonecurlzzz]

he; Dominican- hence the last name

[svetaswan]

@tbonecurlzzz - is he really Dominican? There is some confusion over that - because apparently the way his last-name is spelled is not Spanish, it's more of a Portuguese spelling. Some people have said that he may actually be Trinidadian and/or have Cape Verdean roots, or something.

[svetaswan]

@RENT193 - not with that New York accent, he isn't. His speech patterns & accent here are totally different than "Carlton's".

You haven't listened to very many black kids if you think he's the whitest-sounding black kid ever. 

[halonicballz]

HAHAHA it looks like hes playin in fresh prince same

[blue12silver]

he has the "beat it" jacket of michael jackson

so lucky !!

[evangelle82]

Dang. I want my mom and dad to buy me one! LMAO! <3

[retroshopaholic1993]

wow, luk how people grow and things change

[Timhumphrey45]

[rjcruzz]

haa.

[julymami3]

omg he sounds sooo different here.

[Inspirmentalist]

this is when hiphop took a turn for the worst....when it went commercial....fail!

dammit carlton!!!!!! i'm glad your just an indie car driver now.

[BBoyPookie]

Yeah youre right about it at its worse, but its not alfonso's fault, i mean he got caught in it just like everyone else.

[elbob17]

This isn't heaven, it's a fucking outrage.

[Gee967]

when he said"can you rap' i got alittle scared

[Gee967]

ha ha ha

[Pinwormx]

I remember that dying rumor. Scared the crap out of us till we learned it was all BS.

[CBoyardee]

i noticed a distinct lack of the carlton dance.

[jonaxg]

Wow that "king Tut" move was damn impresive,an impresive way to break & pop.LOL

give it a go alfonso!

[elbob17]

the :53 second mark is what makes this video. I remember the rumor from back in the day that Alfonso Ribeiro broke his neck from spinning on his head like a top. I guess he ignored mom and dad and did things that were unsafe.

[Neyosaurus]

i need dat breaking board!!

[coder928]

at about 1:12 im reminded oddly of joe pesci

[jxsilicon9]

LOL!

[rexraym]

[trejons]

[xlogold]

the cool hip-hop kid from silver spoons turned nerdy guy on fresh prince.

[s3rca]
